Very soothing deep shady filled with moss and majestic trees. Tiny 2min walk to the river very worth it! Wish I brought boots so I could stand in the frigid water to skip stones! Very calm, picturesque water mirror effect

Such an underrated park. So many well maintained trailers with just incredible and massive redwoods. Love taking my small kids on these trails and just getting lost in the wonder. The place is pristine and calm with very few people on the trails. Parking is super easy as well!

Once you adapt to the drive, this place is gorgeous and magical. Wonderfully easy, great people, beautiful campsites.

Stayed in one of the cabins -basic but comfortable, and such a great shelter during rainy days. The campground has plenty of tent and RV sites, all surrounded by beautiful redwoods. There are multiple trails leading right from the campground into the ancient redwood groves -absolutely magical! The park is peaceful, well maintained, and has a nice visitor center with helpful info. Loved that there’s also an electric vehicle charger on-site. A perfect spot for a relaxing nature getaway!

Nice campground, with spacious sites. Clean bathrooms and showers. Park brochure makes it seem that hiking is limited, but we had a beautiful 4mile hike through Redwoods, meadows, and past the famous "Hendy Hermit's" hut. Lots of nearby wineries and cider orchards. We did tastings of both. 45 minute drive to Mendocino on a beautiful road through the forest. Will be back again to explore more.

I want to give this campground all the stars, but I can’t and this is why: Went with my adult daughter in late August 2025, the host and rangers were super nice and the assigned spot for tent camping in the Azalea loop was very spacious and lovely. We saw many deer in our camp site, a big spider, a scorpion living in the crack of a tree and a salamander. The loop trail was close to our space and it was a nice walk among the redwoods backing up to the Apple orchards next door. Definitely check out Gowans cider!!! The problem was mainly with the facilities. There is no soap in the bathrooms and no hand towel paper or blowers and you have to pay for showers! The wood bundles are pretty big and cost $10 so the extra pieces adds up and that’s ok, but paying $45 per night for a tent site with no soap or way to dry your hands then pay extra for showers is not a deal and makes the $45 seem overpriced. We had just stayed in Oregon at Harris Beach and I have to say, they’ve got the California redwoods beat when it comes to comfort. Be sure to bring everything to the bathrooms at this place. I would love to go back again if they update the amenities… I mean come on HendyWoods!

Took the family for two nights to experience camping in a small cabin. Each cabin has only two wooden beds but can sleep up to six people. We tried using air mattresses, but they made a lot of noise, so I recommend cushion pads instead. The family loved the small heater. As for the trails, they’re easy and about 1.5 hours round trip, with a beautiful forest to enjoy along the way.

Campground was 10/10 Extremely clean bathrooms! The camp host was amazing! We visited mid April and the river was thriving! It was about a 1 mile hike to the river.

Great campsite. Julie and Lorie are both goddesses (rangers) amongst the redwoods. Hot showers are great. Each campsite has a bear box and fire pit. We will definitely be back! P.S. turns out Sasquatch is a recluse and prefers to be left alone.

This is a great State Park hidden away in the Redwood Forest. There are some easy to more difficult hikes that take you through some of the last remaining Old Growth Redwoods. It is absolutely beautiful. There is even a trail that is wheelchair accessible. There are plenty of camping options including little cabins. The cost for a day pass is $8.00 per car. If there is no attendant you can pay using the honor system by the entrance. ** You can check out a State Park Pass from your local library also for free 😊
